Homebrew Computer Club's 30th Anniversary Celebrated

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF.--If you've never seen a couple hundred bona-fide geeks sitting on the edge of their seats with excitement, you should have been on hand Saturday for an appreciation of the 30th anniversary of the Homebrew Computer Club.

The celebration, which was part of Vintage Computer Festival at the Computer History Museum here, was a love-fest for several mavericks of technology. And amidst tales of building some of the world's first personal computers, the adoring audience of Silicon Valley elders got to hear a series of nostalgic stories about the history of one of the most influential computer users' groups of all time.
